Ruffle clutch bag

I am far too excited about this, I warn you! :)

 

 

Above is Figure 1. A 80s concoction of pearls, ruffles, lace and tulle. All beautiful separately but together, far too much! And I have the simple job of restyling it. (more on that later, the dress itself is a work in progress) First to be removed were those over the top ruffled sleeves, which brings me to.....

 

 

 

Figure 2. A brand new ruffled clutch bag. I added a reinforced duchess satin opening, complete with magnetic clasp, stitched on a little motif comprised of left over scraps of lace, a few pearls and a diamante. And there you have it. The perfect bag for a bride to pop her makeup and essentials in (or for me to take out to dinner on Valentines night!) :)
